socket 939 support 754 CPU?

[purplemonkey]

Sorry for the newbie style question. I just can't seem to find anywhere where it says so or not.

My bro ordered a 939 mainboard and a 3500 939 CPU. now the dealer is out of stock on the CPU but they recken they have another cpu which will work. Could it b a 754 or a more expencive 939. if 754 will work we'll probably get the 3400+.

Additional.
If the 745's don't work. is it worth waiting for the 3500 to come into stock, or getting a 754 board and the 3400. Then taking the hit at next upgade to go for 939 mainbaord + CPU.

cheers.
PM.

754 won't fit in a 939 mobo.

If the dealer will give you the next chip up at the same price then go for that .

a 754 board would be cheaper, and I doubt you'd notice much performance difference. Personally, I'd stick with 939 and either buy a different chip or wait for their re-stock, but it depends how long you can wait I guess.

I'm hoping he'll give us a better chip free as well, but I've got my doubts as the next chip is 200bar more.

got a big gaming weekend this bank hols so wanted everything ready you know. Everyone seems to be out of stock on these cpu's too. Damn AMD and there price drop.

cheers for info bud.
